Ask HN: What is your comfort book?

The Bhagavad Gita translated by Jack Hawley

The Dresden Files.

Anything by PG Wodehouse. Perfect antidote to too much seriousness.

Often in spring I read Dylan Thomas 's Under Milk Wood.

I go back to "Winter's Tale" by Mark Helprin once or twice a decade. It has an uncanny combination of page-turner pace and sheer stop-and-savor-it writing beauty that makes it a sheer joy every time.

Ever wonder why mosts casinos have more “SLOT ATTENDANTS “ than cocktail service when it is rare to see a slot machine breaks or needed service and surely those attendants had no engineering degree or at least experience on fixing those computers.. Will I figured out the answer after years of observations, provocation,to gather specific outcome relating slot machine payout. casino players tend to focus only to the screen , would skip going to the bathroom hoping that somehow it will randomly pay some jockpot.. The Handheld Device equipped by the “slot machine attendants “ are designed to remotely control slot machine and it make sense for casino’s point of vantage bacause they not only have the advantage but they have TOTAL CONTROL of cashflaw acting like gods and the players sheeps .. floor supervisors / managers will orient/instruct attendants on their starts of shift to have a certain machines to patrol /covered and will be instructed to press a certain button for each active machine depending on BET the will also be instructed to write down machines # located at the top area near the remote receiver wich they have now built bigger more accurate. Slot attendants do not know exact functionality wich I think careless. They think they are above the law and things will not have a day in court ! I will subpoena their video recordings , slot attendants employment records, their job descriptions, and the ultimate proof of this immoral , dirty , currupted system is their sudden double / triple Revenues after Slot attendants and their handheld device where operational. Revenue’s should have decreased since they have to pay extra for hiring so many slot attendant . Casinos sure contribute generates tax , employed , and sometimes help some organization, individuals, But casinos creates more unemployment, foreclosures, divorces, tax revenues individuals before they where deceived go out to dine, go to stores and shops , spend money for auto repair, medical , and had a bank account . Once people learned how they been going to those damn casinos not knowing that they have zero chance and machines where remotely controlled .. I can’t imagine the implications . I hope it’s not too late. Too many lives destroyed victimized by this greedy , barbaric individuals that profit’s on other misfortunes this is worse than the Eslavary era. Section 10 on their compact agreement states that casinos should maintain a clean , honest gambling operation wich they have broken and will be questioned and challenge .. When I migrate to this country I have a big respect , belief, and admire the law , the rules, will I guess I was wrong I thought this only happens in third countries welcome to america. Populace are being feed constant fear about nuclear, North Korea, Russia, China, global warming bullshit. No one is talking about this damn casinos that is more distructive combined any other treats it put the country in jeopardy. They enemy are among us and already crossed the border they play their card very will and could be the victor..
